AquilaVision is developing Montana’s first cost effective, high resolution imaging system called CHRYSATOS™.

The CHRYSATOS™ imaging system represents a watershed development in the emerging remote sensing industry. Hyperspectral imaging is widely recognized for the utility of data, but often de-selected for application because of high cost and complexity of interpretation protocols. The CHRYSATOS™ system represents a significant drop in costs for imagery collection, while improving resolution and geospatial accuracy, and streamlining some processing protocols. This combination has positioned this system for extended use in multiple markets, at the very time where geographic information systems (GIS), and those who utilize GIS within traditional industries (the “geospatial workforce”) are emerging as a major economic force regionally, nationally, and globally. The CHRYSATOS™ imaging system will impact Montana’s traditional industries by providing cost effective imagery and data.

This imagery can be used to identify, inventory and map:
o buildings
o roadways
o surface minerals
o invasive weeds
o natural resources
o agriculture

The imagery produced by CHRYSATOS™, coupled with already in use GIS and remote sensing technologies, will revolutionize the way in which managers collect and use information relating to resources. This approach can have a tremendous impact on Montana’s agriculture, forestry, and natural resources economies.
